When I was in highschool, getting pot was pretty easy. Getting beer was damned tough. No one asked for ID to buy a lid.
A large part of legalization is education.
Lying to people doesn't help your cause. Especially when you float absurdly stupid lies.
You are right that legal pot will do little for this generation of tobacco smokers but the focus is to teach those generations to come to use intelligent use of freedom of choice.
People who smoke pot are more likely to smoke cigarettes. They are smokers, smokers don't have an aversion to smoking.
They will not be as drug stupid as we are and will make better choices if we make them available. I am talking those of age here of course.
Look, prohibition does a lot more damage than drugs do.
But until the legalization side gets honest and stops this stupid bullshit that "pots good for you," no one is going to take you seriously.
I just wrote a comment above about legalization being the only tool parents have of actually keeping their children away from drugs till they are old enough to make those better choices.
It gets rid of pushers.

It gets rid of pushers, Mexican drug cartels and CIA black ops. Lot's of good reasons to end prohibition, I agree. Let's run with that and stop the idiocy that pot will magically stop tobacco deaths and alcoholism. It will have zero effect on either.
Try reading something with more than 3 pages and learn who is lying to who.
Your government in this case is the liar and it is well paid by the drug trade to do so.

You're not original. The same crap is shoveled by everyone selling their vices.

Why not legalize all "substances" - It's not like those who don't smoke weed would get up and decide they will just because it's legal.
I don't do drugs and if they were legal I would just jump out of my seat to buy them if they were legal.
Do you see gangbangers putting their guns down just because they have to permit to carry those weapons?
Well if I could buy weed legally and not have to worry about losing my job over it, I'd probably smoke a fat blunt every once in a while.
I don't believe legalized marijuana will have any effect whatsoever on tobacco use and I've never heard or read that it might. But there is no doubt in my mind that legally available marijuana will lead to a substantial reduction in beverage alcohol consumption. And the booze industry agrees with that projection -- which is why they contribute heavily to the anti-marijuana lobby (mainly The Partnership For A Drug-Free America).People assume that pot will lower the rates of death for tobacco and alcohol users because some will switch their vice from smokes or booze to weed, thats an awful lot of assuming.
Some people use both marijuana and beverage alcohol. But I know many marijuana users who are so content with the effect of THC they would never drink alcohol as long as marijuana is available to them.legalizing pot will have ZERO effect on tobacco and alcohol use.
Yep I do all 3

You should understand that drugs are more available today then they were before Ronald Reagan escalated Nixon's counterproductive War on Drugs. Any drug that anyone might wish to buy is available within ten miles of any inhabited part of the U.S. So while it is logically unlikely that legalizing drugs would increase usage there is some evidence of that in the Portugal Experiment.Should've never been illegal.
I graduated high school in '03, and marijuana was 100 times easier to get than alcohol. So all these old bags who say "Nooooooo don't legalize it, think of the children, THE CHILDREN!!!" just aren't in touch whatsoever with reality. Hell I bet coke was easier to get than alcohol (I've never done coke or weed.
Big gov't programs, gang bangers, thugs, terrorists, druglords, all absolutely love the drug war.
The thing hurt by the drug war the most, americans and the american economy.
I know what side I'm on.
Why do you think increasing drug abuse in this country is a good idea?

Also, with specific reference to marijuana, The Netherlands decriminalized it in 1976 and to date has realized a reduction in use by adolescents. (Kids lose interest in things which are not taboo anymore.)

Yep, if I can't see that science tells us that smoking pot is just the greatest for people, I must be stupid....
BTW, you know your link said this;
{This does not mean that use should be encouraged or left unregulated.}
How would legalizing marijuana reduce deaths from alcohol and tobacco? It isn't either or, most of the time it's both, simultaneously.

People are assuming that if marijuana is legal people will switch their vice from drinking and tobacco to weed, I smoke and drink and if weed was legal that wouldn't change, I might enjoy a nice blunt every now and again but I wouldn't switch over to the buddha completely.
